PVC pipe feeder question

[aart]

Had to clean it out and move it away from the leak. The moral of this story... this type feeder needs to stay dry.

Absolutely.....
....not only can it stop flowing, but feed can get moldy before it stops flowing.

I consider this a lesson learned. Clean out the feeder on a regular basis.

An update on this feeder. We have had a day of heavy rain. The feeder is in the run. And the run roof leaks. The water started collecting in the bottom. That turned the pellets to mush and it stopped filling. Had to clean it out and move it away from the leak. The moral of this story... this type feeder needs to stay dry.

I would keep any feeder dry... by default.
Some birds simply do not like to be out in the rain.
